Can you post a picture?

Sure. These are the two I'm talking about. One is more obviously reddish than the other. Also, would you be willing to look at a few others I have questions about?

No idea what this one is...

Does this one qualify as a panda? Is that considered Italian coloration??

Is this one a tuxedo? If so, what is the coloration on it's back...it's also kind of reddish.

@mdees88 A lot of my birds have a reddish coloration to them...or at least something on the red spectrum. Even some of my Italians have reddish/orange coloration. I'm trying to figure out what gene is causing this. I'm about to create my 2 breeding sets and need to better understand the genes before pairing them, you know?

German pastel? Here are my two germans. The orange color over the silver color comes across as more silver in pictures

The first one looks like it has the extended black gene? I agree that the second is a panda or spotted white with the color being italian. The third is a tuxedo, my guess would be a scarlet.
